I had a Fiat barchetta for one and a half year until I had an accident
last June. It looked absolutely gorgeous. I still think it looks
better than the Miata... sorry. Check it out yourself on
http://www.fiatbarchetta.com/owners/IvesA/

I'm also the administrator of the Fiat barchetta mailinglist and as
such I've found that the car has some problems (especially the older
ones) which wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't for Fiat's unacceptable
attitude towards their customers.

Cheers,
